Excellent quality / price ratio, and light enough to be used almost in all situations. I hesitated with the 2.8, but the price and the weight of this one made my choice.
There's nothing better than an "L" serie, this one has all the positives aspects of an "L" serie with an accessible price.

I buy this one after a 10D, and I dont regret anything. It's a revolution for all the technical specifications, but I didn't need any minute to have it in hand properly. I'm really glad of this choice. I hesitated with the famous 5D, but the file size of the 5D's pics is too big for my poor computer. And the difference of price is a good argument to choose the 30D.
You won't be disappointed with this one !
